I think the Tilted Duster is one of my favourite knitted garments so far. It’s in a beautiful Tomato red colour of the Cascade 220 yarn, it’s warm because it’s wool, not to mention the lovely pattern. It’s really easy to follow and a lot of times I just knit in front of the TV [...]

Knitting sleeves is tedicious because after finishing one, there’s a second one to finish. And knitting sleeves in round with the dpn gave me headache! I was cheap, I just used my mom’s ancient aluminium looonnnggg needles to knit in round. Gosh was my fingers sored! Then I figured a way to knit in round by [...]

Sometimes I wonder if it’s my calculations or is it the pattern - I love the design of the A-Line jacket in Runway Knits by Berta Karapetyan. Based on the pattern I would have enough yarns from my stash to make it; but as I was on my 8th ball, I realized I DO NOT [...]

I had internet service problem so I was unable to log on to the internet for 5 days! What a long and tedious period! Those 5 days were like I was disconnected from the world. I didn’t realize internet is part of my life!
I made slow progress to my bodice camisole made with SWTC’s Bamboo [...]

My Plumetis cardigan is done! It’s a pleasure to be a knitting tester for Sylvie. The pattern is easy to follow, it doesn’t take much yarn to make a mid/long sleeves (less than 6 balls each of 100 meters!), it’s knitted in one piece so no sewing is required. The important thing is the lace top [...]

The plumetis cardigan I am working on as a knitting tester for Sylvie is coming along. I got to thank her for the compliments she gave me. It’s a great encouragement! Now I am at the bottom of the cardigan, but the k1p1 is just long and tedious (sorry, Sylvie!)…..my right arm almost [...]

I am a knitting tester! I am honoured to knit this beautiful cardigan for Chez-plum
This cardigan is knitted from top down with a round yoke. I tried to knit from down to top before like this sweater, and this drop stitch tank top. I like challenging and yet beautiful patterns, so I can’t wait to [...]

This is a fast project, pattern from the latest summer 07 Phildar magazine. This is my favourite colour, in a summery yarn, Kim by Filtes (again!). I used a total of less than 7 balls.
The pattern was using a combination of two strands yarns, but I was just using one strand with the Kim and it worked [...]

I crocheted this bag last year based on a Japanese pattern from my girlfriend Lillian (aka Craftlover). I was a beginner to yarn, knit and crochet so it took me like an hour to finish one square. But it’s too pretty to give up so….here we go!
It’s now spring, so I should take it out [...]

The first one is the Rowan Classic Cashsoft yarn with Phildar pattern, the front and the back view:
Here’s a [...]
